14 OPERATION Using the Sensor Functions The sensor features offer convenient cooking or reheating of popular food items automatically using preprogrammed settings. The Sensor system works by detecting built up steam so there is no need to set cook times or power levels. • Make sure the door remains closed. • Opening the door or pressing the STOP/Clear button before the steam is detected will stop the process and the oven. • Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good sensor cooking results. - Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. - Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook. - Match the amount to the size of the container. - Fill containers at least half full for best results. - Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
